Condon

Condon receives a slightly under-slot deal for $5.16 million after the Cardinals made him the 13th overall pick in the draft. The 18-year-old is an excellent athlete despite being a bit undersized for an elite prospect at just 5-foot-11. It’s easy to envision him hitting for a strong batting average and supplying plenty of stolen bases, but doesn’t offer much projection in the power department.

No relation to Charlie. Condon is one of the best prep bats in the class, and he has a swing from the left side that suggest he’s going to hit for a high average thanks to its plane and quickness through the zone. There’s serious questions about the power, and right now, asking for more than 12-15 bombs in a season is asking too much. He’s an elite baserunner, however, so he should compensate with a good amount of steals — assuming he gets on enough to run, of course. Condon is also a terrific defender, and even with the lack of pop, there’s a lot to like here.
